Superbly devoid of colour

Common names: Climbing lily, Creeping lily, Fire lily, Flame lily, Gloriosa lily, Glory lily, Tiger claw.

Botanical name: Gloriosa superba.

Family: Colchicaceae.

Taken at Kirstenbosch Gardens, Cape Town, South Africa.

As the name suggests, the Flame lily comes in glorious colours of orange and yellow, but for some perverse reason, I decided to strip it of all colour :-)
